Event Description
Teddy Thompson touring in support of his 2023 album My Love of Country. The album, a collection of tunes made famous by the likes of Hank Williams, George Jones, Patsy Cline, and more, is Thompson’s love letter to Nashville’s golden era. The simplicity and emotional intensity of classic country has been a big part of Thompson’s sound as an artist, which the New York Times calls “beautifully finessed” and NPR hails as “the musical equivalent of an arrow to the heart.”
Helping Thompson realize his vision for My Love Of Country was multi-instrumentalist producer David Mansfield, whose resume includes touring with Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, scoring Oscar-nominated films like The Apostle and years of high-profile session work with the likes of Johnny Cash, Lucinda Williams and Dwight Yoakam. A star-studded group of harmony vocalists, including Vince Gill, Rodney Crowell and Aoife O'Donovan, added final touches.
The latest stop – and eighth album - in a career that has carried on the legacy of his parents, British folk-rock legends Richard and Linda Thompson, and found him collaborating with such artists as Rufus Wainwright, Rosanne Cash and Emmylou Harris, My Love Of Country follows 2020's Heartbreaker Please, listed in the Top 10 Records of the Year by Britain's Daily Mail and called “buoyant, brilliant and soulful” by Billboard.
